Our parents divorced when Karen was a young child,and a few years later we were blessed with the best of a complicated world -- a father and a stepfather.
As sometimes happened in those days,we didn't maintain much contact with our natural father.It was hoped that our new stepfather would grow to be the apple of our eyes.
Gordon was,in fact,a wonderful man.He accepted us as his children and went on to play a major part in the raising of my sister and me.He was the humor in an otherwise boring life.He was the fun where there often wasn't any.And he was the true keeper of our hearts,with our best interests always at the center of his own.
I kept ties with my natural father,too,and did my best to mend all wounds.Gordon supported this whole-heartedly.Karen,being years younger than me,grew up without really knowing our natural father.
When Karen was in high school and I was married,we went through a second divorce.However,Gordon remained the father figure he'd always been and even became "Grandpa Gordon" to my firstborn.Karen and Gordon grew apart some,but reestablished ties after graduation.
Gordon eventually remarried.Carol was ideally suited to him and understood the complications of our situation.When they both encouraged Karen to mend her ties with Dad,she bravely set about renewing a relationship she hardly remembered.
Communication with Dad was on the surface.We knew he loved us and he knew we loved him,but the words were seldom spoken aloud.
Before Karen announced her engagement,she voiced her concerns. "I want Gordon to give me away when I get married."
"Mm-hmm," I replied.
"But I want Dad to give me away,too."
"Let me see what I can do." I knew Gordon would understand.My father,however,would be a little harder to convince.
A letter,I decided,felt right.Gordon,of course,supported it.
A couple of weeks later,Karen received a phone call from Dad.
"So where do I go to get measured for my tuxedo(晚禮服)?"
In late August,Karen walked down the aisle with a handsome father on each side.They wore the same tuxedos with smiles and showed the same fatherly love and joy.
The blessing to Karen and me was double.In addition to ending years of confusion,we learned to share the joy of being the proud daughters of two extraordinary fathers.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
